Después de eso, el malvado aparecerá. Satanás lo ayudará a engañar a muchos con señales y falsos milagros. Engañará con toda clase de mentiras a los que no quisieron amar y aceptar el verdadero mensaje de Jesucristo, mensaje que podría haberlos salvado del castigo que recibirán. Dios permite que ese hombre mentiroso y malvado los engañe, para que acepten lo que es falso. Así Dios castigará a todos los que no han querido creer en el verdadero mensaje y son felices haciendo el mal. Pero cuando el Señor Jesús vuelva, con todo su poder y su gloria, destruirá con el soplo de su boca al hombre malvado, y le quitará su poder.
